They are both really nice cars and id like to say i wouldnt have done it but it looks like he got a good deal still has a nice performance car and loads of cash in his pocket which cant be bad really , i love the escos but i wouldnt be able to drive it all the time where as the evo ill drive that everyday without even thinking twice

hate to tell you this but if that car is a 98 s reg theres a very good chance like 100% that the car is a evo 5,mitsubishi brought out the 6 in 1999 january so how the fook its a 6 is strange. earliest 6 production was jan 99 so that car has my alarm bells ringing. check the vin with a ralliart dealer just to be certain but the japs loved to change 5's into 6's

the escos would be the one for me,but you couldnt use it everyday or just park it anywhere as you would be too paranoid,true the evo will be more reliable long term but come on the cossie's an icon...
and kept in that condition will only go up in value where the evo will lose a small fortune
, i suppose its each to their own but i would have the escos without the slightest hesitation

If the evo still has those wheels get him to check the amount of thread on the wheel nuts,
Without longer studs the nuts only go on 3 turns with is not enough.

the best being the 1994 european rally championship which the escort cosworth won in great style
it was a winner for ford and due to limited numbers built thats why some people think its a piece of ford motorsport history.

well i suppose its somthing to do with it came runner up in the wrc a few times,it missed its first golden oppertunity to win the wrc due to the star driver smashing his feet in a shitty ferrari f40 road accident and thats a fact. also the car won more championships than even i can spout out,

Glenny have a look at this http://www.francocunico.it/rally_dri...o/era-martini/
i posted this video on the Mitsubishi Lancer Register when some bell ends were giving the escort cosworth the sick,the majority over there can't understand how a 17 year old low mileage vgc std escort cos can be worth loads more than say a std evo 9
its because the escort has pedigree
mind you i got a escort cos a evo and a porsche, i don't give a fuck

they did really well glenn until around 2000 when it all went shite in the wrc,the group n's were good though but no fucker is interested in group n anymore... shame
evo's are great cars and i'd rather drive one daily than my escort cos.
just to give you a idea why evo's don't hold their money unless a very rare model is this........................
5000 evo 1's were made in 1992 to 1993.
around 7000 escort cosworths were made between unofficially 90-1991 and officially 92-96.
big difference between the numbers made if you take into account theres 9 more evolutions to add to the mitsubishi pot compared to the escort
